Ed Negron's Daily Motivation 1-9-2012

Feelings are much like
waves, we can't stop them from coming but we can choose which one to surf.
~Jonatan Mårtensson

Leaving Room for
Feelings

We need to allow enough room for others and
ourselves to have and work through our feelings.

We are people, not robots. An important part of us
- who we are, how we grow, how we live - is connected to our emotional center.
We have feelings, sometimes - difficult ones, sometimes-disruptive ones, and
sometimes-explosive ones that need to be worked through.

By facing and working through these feelings we and
others grow. In relationships, whether it be a love relationship, a friendship,
a family relationship, or a close business relationship, people need room to
have and work through their feelings.

Some call it "going through the
process."

We need time to work through feelings. We need the
space and permission to work through these feelings in the awkward,
uncomfortable, sometimes messy way that people work through
feelings.

This is life. This is growth. This is
okay.

I can set reasonable boundaries for behavior and
still leave room for a range of emotions.
